We came to shut this down
Everybody knows
This is how it goes
Ain't no playing around
Just keep your eyes on me
If you want it, please
About to shut this down
My hand is money
My eyes is cold
Whatever you holdin'
You better fold
Cos when we drop this,
It's gonna make a sound
All around the world, when we come to town
We come to shut this down!
